Obama is vehemently anti-gun, no matter what he says. But he is not stupid, and he knows what he can and cannot accomplish. Which is not all that much.
The Supreme Court has ratified an individual right, and there is more power to implement gun control at the state and local level then there is at the federal level.
I would be more concerned about attempts to regulate ammunition (manufacture, transport, sales), like OHSA tried to do in 2007:

Or restrictions on the sale of ammo, and the kind of ammo and weapons people can buy, like CA tried to do this year:

That is where the real battle over gun control resides. Not in the office of the president.
The question I pose, is that are you safer owning a gun, or are you safer with less guns in the hands of the wrong people?
If one day everyone in the world sincerely decided to disarm, then I would be the first one in line

Soo Iv been hearing a lot of talk.. that if Obama Takes Office we can Pretty much kiss our gun rights good bye...Or at least start seeing them Become tighter and tighter...Whats everyone's opinion on this? Is He really that Anti-gun?? I dunno it kinda scares me if that's the case..
The question I pose is, to whom, in your envisioned world, will you give the authority to decide if you are a "wrong" person?

This is completely accurate...Plus Obama is a constitutional lawyer, that means he actually has read and interpreted the US Constitution and I believe he understands that importance to preserve certain aspects of the Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment...Additionally, the gun rights issue at this point in our social/economic/political environment has dropped significantly on the priority list of politicians...There are many other things that need to be dealt with well before any federal politician has the time to deal with gun rights....One truth about the gun rights issue is that it is usually only addressed when there's nothing better to talk about, right now there are things more important to resolve (I.E. the Iraq War, the $700 billion dollar Wall Street bail-out, increasing health care costs, etc.)...
MY PERSONAL OPINION.....I wouldn't feel like I needed to own guns if I knew that there were less out there on the street in the hands of people who use them for illegal gains....I make a distinction between the firearms that are used for sport and those that aren't, yes, some will see that I own an AK (or WASR or whatever) but I acknowledge that I don't own it to use for hunting....If one day everyone in the world sincerely decided to disarm, then I would be the first one in line....Until then, I sleep better with a handy piece of steel under my pillow.....We all have grown up in a environment in which we've been told the world is out to get us and we must constantly be on the defense, I don't believe that at the "beginning of time" we all were constantly killing each other aimlessly, instead I believe we were all harmonious until someone (or something) introduced the concept of taking what other people have because it's easier....Until that point, there was never any need to be scared of each other and ultimately no reason to ever feel like we needed to defend against each other.....
As for Barack Obama, I would rather have someone that's trigger-responsible than trigger-happy....I don't believe that Obama, nor the Supreme Court will ever radically change the 2nd amendment...There are simply way too many factors within the issue to make a radical change...The question I pose, is that are you safer owning a gun, or are you safer with less guns in the hands of the wrong people?
I guess I'd have to say..anybody dumb enough to vote for Osama-Obama would certainly qualify...as a "wrong" person...

Also, you know it's pretty difficult to find a firearm "on the streets," I'm pretty convinced that if anyone had easy access to "throw-away" firearms then I would find it a lot easier to find them.
